Since you have only just begun, what do you think it will be like being recognized from your work?

Flattering I guess. But I've never been one to take a compliment well, so if someone actually saw me somewhere and was like, "Hey! You're that Larissa Scheibelhut chick!" I'd probably look at the ground and kinda walk faster. Either that or the smartass would come out of me and I'd say, "No, actually,  I'm Joe Scheibelhut's sister".

Is there anything that you haven't liked about modeling so far?

Well, I've worked with three different companies, including Richardson Productions, and I've realized that there are two or three different types of people in the business. There are the [cool] people like you guys who have fun and enjoy yourselves, while making everyone else comfortable. There's the people who pamper you while expecting something in return. And then there's the people who only care about themselves and toss you around like a petrified turd. Like your feelings don't matter. (Don't ask me where the turd analogy came from) After working with all these people I've learned that if you don't like some of them, you've just got to suck it up and wait for the film to run out. Unfortunately, about 60% of the people in the business are less than congenial.

Name some things you like or even love about modeling.

When I really get into it I feel almost like a totally different person. And I've always been the ugly duckling in my family, with three beautiful older brothers. So when someone actually thinks I'm interesting enough to take pictures of me...well, I'm flattered. Oh yeah... I almost forgot. It's really fun to shoot down rude guys who are harassing you at the beach by telling them that you're modeling at the moment and you're too busy to talk.
